But to your point, even more importantly, it models like, okay, I'm not always right.

I make mistakes.

And when I do, here's how I handle it.

Because you're going to make a ton of them too.

Yep.

What are some ways of working with the inertia default?

Because that is a really big one.

Like you said, we are wired to seek comfort.

We are wired to be like, well, this is doing all right.

I mean, you, you talk about the zone of average being a dangerous place.

You know, it's the point where things are working well enough that we don't feel the need to make any changes.

And I have found myself there many times where I'm like, well, this is pretty good.

It's not great.

Could be better.

But I'm just getting through the day.

I don't know.

I've got a lot left to continue to break this inertia.

One of the things we know about habit creation, right, is that habits tend to need a stable context in which to really form.

Meaning if your context is always shifting,

it's much harder to create an automatic behavior.
